The Setup presents : A Funny thing happened, San Francisco's only weekly storytelling show. We bring you Emmy Award winning writers and speakers from NPR's Snap Judgment and The Moth radio hour.
Every Thursday The Setup presents San Francisco's only weekly storytelling show. We bring you bestselling authors, Emmy-Award winning writers, TED speakers, stars of The Moth Radio hour, Snap Judgment and accomplished comedic voices in an intimate setting right in the heart of San Francisco.
The show features six, true, 10-minute stories, told live without notes in a beer basement that feels like your living room. Funny, intimate (easy now, not like that), and engaging it's a great way to spend your Thursday. We always have an intermission so there is plenty time to chat, meet new people and tell your own stories.
Your hosts for the evening are:
Richard Sarvate:
Richard is a Bay Area native who spent 10 years working as a programmer. He's quit the tech industry for good and is now a stand up comedian and storyteller. His mother is a schizophrenic. All of this is fodder for the stage. He's a favorite at the SF Punch Line, he tours internationally, and has worked with superstars like Roseanne Barr.
Abhay Nadkarni:
Abhay started stand up in the gritty neighborhood of downtown LA. As an outsider, his act centers around him trying to fit into the American way of life. He's an impressionist, comedian, and creator of the Desi Comedy Fest, the largest South Asian comedy festival in the United States. He's appeared on CBS and has been part of the World Series of Comedy, Ventura Comedy Festival, and SF Sketchfest.
David Nihill:
Leaving Dublin, Ireland, where he was born and raised until the age of 22, David got drunk on travel and never quite hit the sobriety of it. A bestselling author, David has been featured in Inc, NPR, and the Huffington Post, was recently part of the Irish Kings of Comedy Tour, SF Sketchfest, the Ventura Comedy Festival, Ukiah Comedy Alley, and the Kansas City Irish Festival. A multiple Moth Storyslam winner, Grandslam finalist and occasional host David has also told tales at Porchlight, The Naked Truth, Fireside and Litquake.
Artists / Speakers: David Nihill, Richard Sarvate, Abhay Nadkarni.
